        <footnote id="F1">Deferrable restricted stock units with dividend equivalents paid in cash granted under the Albertson's, Inc. 2004 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan.  The units vest annually in 25% increments after being held for 1 year provided that the participant has been continuously employed by the Company or a successor from 01/26/06 through the applicable vesting date.  Stock is distributed on each vesting date unless otherwise deferred.  The terms of the award require the satisfaction of tax withholding obligations through the withholding of shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the award.</footnote>
